Due date: Tuesday, June 23, 2020 at 11.59 p.m. CDT.
Submit your homework via one of the following methods.
1. Type your answers in a word document and submit as a word document file or pdf file.
2. Write down your answers in separate sheets of paper and submit the scan copy of the answer.
3. Write down your answers in separate sheets of paper and submit snapshot of the answer.

Questions 1 and 2 are based on Sections XXXXXXXXXXModel assumption and testing.
1. A Regression analysis was applied between sales data (y in $1000s) and advertising
expenditure (x in $100s) and the estimated regression equation is obtained as
ŷ = XXXXXXXXXX8x.
Suppose SST = 300, SSE = 75, sb1 = XXXXXXXXXXand ? = 17
a) Ca
y out a t-test to see whether the advertising expenditure is significant. Use
α = 0.05 and critical value approach to draw your conclusion. Make sure to
show all your steps.
) Ca
y out an F-test to see whether the advertising expenditure is significant.
Use α = 0.05 and critical value approach to draw your conclusion. Make sure
to show all your steps.
2. A sales manager collected data on annual sales for new customer accounts and the
number of years of experience for a sample of 15 salespersons. The following is
the Regression Analysis run by Minitab for developing an estimated regression
equation to predict annual sales using the independent variable years of experience
(x). Note that ? = ????? ?? ??????????, ? = ?????? ?????.

a) Ca
y out a t-test to see whether the years of experience and the annual sales are
elated. Use α = 0.05. Please use the P-value approach to answer this question.
) Ca
y out an F-test to see whether years of experience and the annual sales are
elated. Use α = 0.05. Please use the P-value approach to answer this question.
c) Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean annual sales for all salespersons
with nine years of experience.
d) The company is considering hiring Tom Smart, a salesperson with nine years of
experience. Find a 95% prediction interval of annual sales for Tom Smart.
e) Discuss the differences in your answers to part c) and d). That is, which interval
estimation is wider? And why?
Questions 3 is based on Sections XXXXXXXXXXResidual analysis.
3. The following data were used to develop a regression analysis.
x XXXXXXXXXX
y XXXXXXXXXX
a) The graph shown below is the residual against the fitted value (�̂�) to check
the constant variance assumption.
Does the above plot support the assumptions about the e
or ?? Explain.
) The graph shown below is the normal probability to check the normality
assumptions about the e
or ?.
Does the above plot support the assumptions about the e
or ?? Explain.
c. The following results are part of the Regression Analysis for the above data
from Minitab. Below is a table with statistics necessary for analyzing the
esiduals.
SRES stands for standardized residual and HI for leverage values.
